Tony, you are a lucky guy. I read your KYDAVIES-L email Sunday and I had plans to stop by the Daviess County Court House for a couple of ancestral deeds of my own so I found a copied the deed you queried. (You wanted something from Deed Book H and so did I.) The deed is nice and has clear script, easy to read. It is dated May 1, 1847 between Bazil P. Howard and Monica, his wife selling to selling 151.5 acres to Aloysius Howard for $300. The land is "on the waters of Panther Creek" and that is a very large area. If I understand the deed correctly (it is a little complicated at first read), Aloysius is to find and pay $100 each to Jon or Js Allen, Thos Barnett and Wm Rowan under some defined conditions. (The deed is of some interest to me as it mentions a "dogwood in Morgan's line", I am wondering which Morgan this may be, I am related to most Daviess County Morgans.) If you want me to mail the copies to you then I will need your address. Why don't you send it to me at hmorgan@evansville.net so as to keep it a little private. I will post my Howard relatives tonight to see if anyone can add some names for me.

I'd be glad to pay for it. Anna Hamilton in "Howards of Whitesville" states that Charles Howard died, without a Will, in 1845, on the 303 acre farm near Lafoone where he lived. She states that the farm was sold by the children in 1847. --- "Aloysius, Basil, Richard and all, sell the land (see book H 408 in Daviess Co. Kentucky.)" I'm trying to document that Basil, my ancestor, is s/o Charles. Basil (1801-1883) is buried in St Mary's at Whitesville. I kinda think Charles died in Washington/Marion county but Anna may have had it right. No record of a Will in Washington Co.
